Problem is, since the largest book seller online have decided to bring it's own eBook reader, this is another iTunes music dilemma now. I wouldn't mind the extra $1, but truth be said, I am getting Kindle books for $1 instead of paper price of $20 sometimes! I hope DRMs don't last. The fold idea is neat, but I guess we won't be seeing that now :). MBH: Indeed.

Device makers could strike a deal with Amazon to run Kindle books. I guess the prices would be a bit higher ($1?), but the customer would still be able to use his own device rather than being locked up (typical Apple mentality, too). I think someone cracked the Kindle DRM already, if not, it will be soon! :D What would be neat is if Alex would allow the lower screen to be folded inside the device itself. It would add a bit to the device's thickness, but would make it easier to carry in hand bags, I guess.
